I needed a lightweight but not plain light jacket to wear to church services and perhaps to lunch. This jacket caught my eye. It is beautiful and so well made. Very classy. I am a senior citizen and I like clean cut styles.

Spring days in Missouri can start cool then get very warm. A very warm day can become chilly in the evening This jacket is the perfect weight. It is very light weight but it's just enough to ward off the evening/night chill. I enjoy wearing this jacket.

If, like me, you like sporty clothing, then you will probably like this jacket. As mentioned, however, it does run _really_ large. I am 5' 4" 130 lbs, and I ordered both a Med as well as a Large (I almost always wear a Large, but the pic on this model looked as though the garment ran large); even the Medium, however, was huge, especially around the hips, but all over (shoulders) as well. I couldn't believe it, as I have a thin frame, narrow hips, but what I think is a _fat_ waist...and it was still huge at the waist and hips.

Anyway, I returned both sizes and reordered a Small, and it was perfect. YIKES! I haven't worn a "small" since high school, but, hey, once you get the right size, it's a great jacket. Looks great with really dark navy denim jeans and a white knit top.

I usually don't do reviews, but I am happy to do this one because I love this jacket. It goes perfectly with several tops that I already own, and the weight and material will be ideal to bring on my upcoming cruise. I doubt anyone would be disappointed with this purchase.
